William Hartmann is possibly the most overrated and overdrafted players ever to set foot on a hockey rink. He was drafted in the first round of the SMJHL draft by the Vancouver Whalers for his potential as a physical force. He proceeded to hit everything that moved in his rookie season while providing absolutely nothing of value to the primary goal of a hockey team, which is to actually score goals. He didn't improve when he hit the SHL (after being somehow drafted in the first round again by Edmonton), being unable to hit the broad side of the barn on his way to a five-goal season. Hartmann's final trick was to convince the entire fanbase he was good by giving them false hope, riding the coattails of Jon Forty-One and Barrett Blackwood to a 28-goal season, then completely regressing back to the mean once separated from those two. Hartmann has been equally useless in international play, never managing to contribute much to the Swiss side.
